| ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- it's the music that matters here's a music survey I moused from whatgoeson (who, I am sure enjoyed last night's Gilmore Girl musical references as much as I did...). I did this really fast so I can't vouch for it's total accuracy. Answers subject to change at any time. What was the first record you ever owned (bought for you)? Some Disney record � I had a ton of them � Cinderella, Snow White, Peter Pan etc. But I think the first record someone bought for me that was, um, a little more mature was the Donny & Marie TV series record and it was a Christmas gift when I was 7.. I don�t remember the name of it but I used to know every song by heart. What was the first album you ever bought? Oh. Ouch. I bought two on one day. The Grease soundtrack (that�s not the ouch part) and Styx�s �Paradise Theater�. That is the ouch part. I was in the 5th grade. But I did quickly redeem myself by buying a few Blondie records. What song reminds you most of your childhood? Of my childhood? Well aside from all those Donny & Marie songs, �That�s No Way to Treat a Lady� I don�t know who sang it but I remember singing it in the car with my dad when I was four. That and �Afternoon Delight� by Starland Vocal Band and �Hey Nineteen� by Steely Dan. Oh and anything by the Carpenters. My mother used to give me Carpenters tapes to listen to in my room when I was sick. If your life was a movie, what songs would play over the following: Opening credits: Jawbreaker �Accident Prone� Sad scenes: Nick Drake �Time of No Reply� or Jeff Buckley�s �Grace� Sex scenes: almost anything by the Rolling Stones Happy scenes: Mary Margaret O�Hara �When You Know Why You�re Happy� or �A New Day� Closing credits: Elliot Smith �Ballad of Big Nothing� If you could spend a night with two musical artists - one for their mind and one for their body, who would it be?: mind: one of two of my favorite songwriters: Bob Dylan or Elvis Costello (though I find them both particularly sexy as well � even Bob at age 60!). On the slightly younger side maybe Jeff Tweedy from Wilco body: Mick Jagger is still pretty hot (what is it with me and older men?) or Ryan Adams or Beck. Or Charlie Sexton (Dylan's current guitarist and a pretty good singer-songwriter in his own right), Mmmm. If you had someone coming over and wanted to impress them, what CDs would you hide? None! If you don�t understand my 60s girl group fetish or my Dolly Parton obsession then you obviously don�t understand me. Name an album that is perfect all the way through - no filler, no bad stuff: Mary Margaret O�Hara �Miss America� If your music collection were about to go up in flames, which five albums would you save?: Mary Margaret O�Hara �Miss America�; Patsy Cline �Greatest Hits�; The Beatles - "Revolver"; Jawbreaker �Dear You�; Liz Phair �Exile in Guyville� What now-defunct band would you most like to see reunite?: The Smiths or the Cocteau Twins Music you like that could be considered a guilty pleasure: 70s disco If applicable, name a song or concert that moved you to tears: Concert: Alejandro Escovedo singing Mott the Hoople�s �I Wish I Was Your Mother�, acoustic. Song: Mary Margaret O�Hara �You Will Be Loved Again� Name one musical artist you would like to see banished: Kid Rock or Eminem for starters Name a song you would rather never hear again: Who Let the Dogs Out�if you could call it a song. Which underrated artist deserves more attention?: Don�t get me started on that question. About 80 percent of my record collection deserves mass popularity. Favourite music-related movie: "Purple Rain� � it�s a classic!!! Or Bob Dylan�s �Don�t Look Back� Favourite video of all time: Don�t laugh: Madonna�s �Borderline�. It still makes me feel all dreamy and melodramatic. Sigh, or A-ha�s �Take on Me� You know � the classics! Favourite artist/group of all time: Beatles/Stones/Hank Williams and Patsy Cline. 2:09 pm - 10.24.01
